About Colors

“Colors” was uniquely announced as the second single from Halsey’s debut Badlands on January 21st, 2016 through a mural in Brooklyn, NY. The official music video features MTV’s Teen Wolf star Tyler Posey. The context behind family and addictions provides evidence that “Colors” is about The 1975’s frontman Matty Healy. In October of 2015, Halsey mentioned during one of her shows that her and Matty met at that particular venue. She has also mentioned him as an inspiring influence. .

Colors Lyrics

[00:05.05] Your little brother never tells you but he loves you so
[00:09.99] You said your mother only smiled on her TV show
[00:14.63] You're only happy when your sorry head is filled with dope
[00:19.87] I hope you make it to the day you're 28 years old
[00:24.86] You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
[00:29.85] You're spilling like an overflowing sink
[00:34.33] You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
[00:39.05] And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink
[00:45.44] Everything is blue
[00:47.90] His pills, his hands, his jeans
[00:50.76] And now I'm covered in the colors
[00:53.57] Pulled apart at the seams
[00:55.41] And it's blue
[01:00.48] And it's blue
[01:04.95] Everything is grey
[01:07.11] His hair, his smoke, his dreams
[01:10.13] And now he's so devoid of color
[01:12.81] He don't know what it means
[01:14.87] And he's blue
[01:19.59] And he's blue
[01:24.49] You were a vision in the morning
[01:27.09] When the light came through
[01:29.12] I know I've only felt religion when I've lied with you
[01:33.83] You said you'll never be forgiven 'til your boys are too
[01:38.78] And I'm still waking every morning but it's not with you
[01:44.15] You're dripping like a saturated sunrise
[01:48.74] You're spilling like an overflowing sink
[01:53.40] You're ripped at every edge but you're a masterpiece
[01:57.99] And now you're tearing through the pages and the ink
[02:02.42] Everything is blue
[02:04.78] His pills, his hands, his jeans
[02:07.65] And now I'm covered in the colors
[02:10.33] Pulled apart at the seams
[02:12.41] And it's blue
[02:17.12] And it's blue
[02:21.69] Everything is grey
[02:23.78] His hair, his smoke, his dreams
[02:27.05] And now he's so devoid of color
[02:29.54] He don't know what it means
[02:31.71] And he's blue
[02:36.35] And he's blue
[02:40.87]
[02:44.10] You were red and you liked me 'cause I was blue
[02:51.08] But you touched me and suddenly I was a lilac sky
[02:56.26] And you decided purple just wasn't for you
[03:00.28] Everything is blue
[03:02.34] His pills, his hands, his jeans
[03:05.28] And now I'm covered in the colors
[03:07.82] Pulled apart at the seams
[03:10.15] And it's blue
[03:14.76] And it's blue
[03:19.11] Everything is grey
[03:21.55] His hair, his smoke, his dreams
[03:24.45] And now he's so devoid of color
[03:27.13] He don't know what it means
[03:29.28] And he's blue
[03:33.94] And he's blue
[03:38.39] Everything is blue
[03:43.22] Everything is blue
[03:48.14] Everything is blue
[03:52.78] Everything is blue
[03:55.66]
